Moonflower’s Tumbelina

Posted on by Liz

The lovely Anne Lise asked me to be guest designer for Barnemix again, so of course I had to say yes! The image I was given to work with is by Moonflower and is called Tumbelina. For this project we were given the theme white on white. Something which I am generally quite terrible at, but I gave it a go!

I coloured it in with copics and figured keeping it all white would be a bit dull! That is why I gave her a glow and a pink dress, but I tried to keep both her hair and the dress reasonably light, somewhat inspired by distress ink colouring actually, and I kept the flowers white. It was fun to try to colour something in lighter shades!

I have used a lot of plain card stock for the card, but a small border with a Lili of the Valley background paper. I used some lace from Kaboks, Martha Stewart punchers and flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts as well as Live and Love Crafts.

Spring swing

Time for a new Mi Ran anything goes challenge in the facebook group. This month we have the optional theme of: Things with Wings! I chose the gorgeous Haylee for this and coloured her in with copics. As we’ve had a crap summer and autumn is around the corner, I deliberately chose a spring theme!

The papers I have used are by Lili of the Valley and the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and Live and Love Crafts. I used a couple of Martha Stewart punchers to make the butterflies. As the theme is things with wings I used it as an excellent excuse to add then! The border is also made using a Martha Stewart puncher and the leaves with a Noor Designs die.

It is our wonderful Mi Ran facebook DT co-ordinater Vannessa’s birthday today. It is her 40th!! That certainly warrants a celebration, and a celebration it is! On our facebook group we have a freebie this week to celebrate as well as a competition.

This is the card I made using the freebie. The balloons are blank, so I added a 40 to it! I’ve used Noor Design dies and a bunch of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. I also used Wild Orchid Crafts flowers to make the bouquet she is holding as I thought it looked pretty cool! There are coloured flowers underneat.

This card was made on request a couple of months ago or so. It was to be reasonably plain with little froo froo, but I was allowed to go butterfly crazy (yey!). The flowers and pearl are from Wild Orchid Crafts, the pre-coloured image by Lili of the Valley, the ribbon by The Hobby House and butterflies made from Noor Design dies.

Sleepy dragon

Posted on by Liz

It has been quiet from me the past few days as I have decided to do my Christmas shopping early this year. Well… start on it early anyway. So Manchester with its Christmas markets, Arndale Centre and Trafford Centre, as well as a trip to Blackburn is taking up most of my week! I have actually gotten a good start on the gift shopping as well, yey! Anyway, because there are Christmas decorations everywhere already, Christmas Carols played over the speakers and Christmas films on the TV, my card today is perhaps as far away from Christmas as it gets!

I have coloured in this adorable Sylvia Zet Wee Stamps dragon copics. The ribbons are from the Hobby House, the background paper is Papermania, the sentiment is Kort&Godt, the flowers are by Wild Orchid Crafts and I believe the die is a QuicKutz one.

The various bits will be linked up when I get back home at the end of next week!
